Need: Cardstock, yellow paint, orange and yellow crayons, gold glitter and forks

• Prior to storytime I a large circle (used a paper "cake" plate as guide) on a piece of heavish white paper.
• I asked the kiddos to color in the circles, using their yellow AND orange crayons.
• When all the kiddos were finished coloring. We painting on some rays using a fork dipped in yellow paint.
• And the finishing touch? A bit of gold glitter sprinkled onto the paint.
